However, there are also bottlenecks, and the growth cycle of raw materials for solid wood flooring is generally 50 years or even longer, which makes wood loss too dependent on resources and energy.

    According to some data, the production of 1 cubic meter of solid wood flooring requires 5 cubic meters of logs, if 1 cubic meter of solid wood flooring is recycled, plus the energy consumption in the process of mining and transportation, it can reduce at least the carbon emissions equivalent to 10 cubic meters of forest logs.

    This kind of environmental protection is relative, parquet is divided into 3 layers of parquet, multi-layer parquet, joinery 3 categories, not only the comfortable feeling of solid wood flooring, but also the wear-resistant and practical advantages of laminate flooring. The key point is that parquet is completely made of natural wood, so it retains many advantages of solid wood flooring, and it is also better in terms of environmental protection.

    Laminate flooring is a kind of board made of medium density fiberboard or wood slats as the base material, and special wear-resistant plastic as the covering material, relatively speaking, the environmental protection of MDF is not as good as that of solid wood, so the environmental protection of solid wood parquet is better than that of laminate flooring.
